An imaging apparatus has a storage function for storing a print job received from an external apparatus. In response to receiving, by the CPU, a remote release instruction of the print job from the outside when a first setting has been made as an operation setting related to a storing function, the CPU controls so that print processing is executed based on the print job stored by the storing function. When a second setting is made as an operation setting related to the storing function, the CPU controls so that the print processing is not executed even if the remote release instruction is received from the outside.
Legal claims defining the scope of protection, as filed with the USPTO.
2. The image forming apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the first setting is a setting to permit printing of the stored print job based on an instruction from the external apparatus, and the second setting is a setting to prohibit printing of the stored print job based on the instruction from the external apparatus.
3. The image forming apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the first setting is a setting to forcibly store the print job received from the external apparatus in the image forming apparatus, and the second setting is a setting to not forcibly store the print job received from the external apparatus in the image forming apparatus.
5. The image forming apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the one or more processors further execute the instructions to accept, by an operation unit, the operation setting of the print control of the image forming apparatus.
6. The image forming apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the one or more processors further execute the instructions to perform a process of storing the print job received from the external apparatus, based on an IPP (Internet Printing Protocol).
8. The method according to claim 7, wherein the first setting is a setting to permit printing of the stored print job based on an instruction from the external apparatus, and the second setting is a setting to prohibit printing of the stored print job based on the instruction from the external apparatus.
9. The method according to claim 7, wherein the first setting is a setting to forcibly store the print job received from the external apparatus in the image forming apparatus, and the second setting is a setting to not forcibly store the print job received from the external apparatus in the image forming apparatus.
12. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium according to claim 11, wherein the first setting is a setting to permit printing of the stored print job based on an instruction from the external apparatus, and the second setting is a setting to prohibit printing of the stored print job based on the instruction from the external apparatus.
13. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium according to claim 11, wherein the first setting is a setting to forcibly store the print job received from the external apparatus in the image forming apparatus, and the second setting is a setting to not forcibly store the print job received from the external apparatus in the image forming apparatus.
